Maven and Adrianna were like the sun and the moon. Their paths were meant to cross but not to sync eternally.
Both from prominent wealthy families separated by hatred and vendetta, they should've left it at that. But fate has a funny way to let them...

"You look tired, Dri"
I grimaced. I think Rocco always had that inane way to make some other girls swoon, any girl for that matter, but not me. We were standing by the foot stairs of the School of Law's entrance. I stood a step higher than Rocco, making me a bit taller than he was.
I ripped out my hair tie from my wrist and pulled my hair back into a low ponytail "You meant I looked like shit, Rocco" He chuckled, "You student-lawyers and your wordsAdrianna and besides, this is one of the perks of being friends—to respond honestly when your friend asked you how they look."
"You still don't lay off that "Lol @ this sad selfie" I posted over your PP onFB?", I teased He snickered, "I don't know why I even stayed friends with you so long, Dri" He said which earned him a fist slamming into his arm. He grimaced rubbing his arm like it hurt him. I had an extra oomph on my punch but I doubt it hit any of his pain receptor so badly. I rolled my eyes.
"and I honestly forgot about that and by the way, If it makes you feel better ang gandang tae mo naman" I shifted my foot as I switched my folders and book to my other arm. "Sweet of you Rocco. Does Larissa know?"
Rocco stared at me in a beat of the moment, his eyes narrowing. I shook my head, still looking at him. "Don't deny it. I saw you two at Italianni's.You're back together isn't it?"
He grabbed my arm, moving me away from the path of students as they passed by.He glanced over his shoulder as he pulled me closer, "It's not like that, Dri. She was asking for a closure and that's what I gave her. Yun lang yon"
I pushed his chest away, saying "Gwapo mo naman Rocco" He chuckled, this time humorlessly. His face turned serious and he had that look again he always had when he's about to say something as serious as his face.
"But not that gwapo to make you mine?" I tried to ignore the red-hot jolt of devastation, "Rocco, are we back to that again?"
He shook his head, his eyes looking far away to the corridor. When silence took over between us, he sighed "I'm sorry. Hindi na"
Attempting to lift up the sudden forlorn mood surrounding us, I said, stirring clear our conversation to far safer subject.
"What are you up to anyway? Wala ka bang duty?"I asked, now looking down at his all-white pristine uniform "And isn't that they moved the School of Medicine somewhere in Ortigas?"
"Ouch" He said, holding out his chest as if it was palpitating beneath his hand. "Tinataboy mo na ako? It's like all the things we've done together since childhood didn't mean a thing to you" I rolled my eyes, "Don't flatter yourself. Ang drama mo" "Madrama but.." He said pulling something behind him "I brought you Java Chip Frappuccino"
